A Helmeted Soldier c. 1660s

"A Helmeted Soldier" is a drawing created by Domenico Peruzzini around the 1660s. The artwork depicts a close-up view of a helmeted soldier, his face partially obscured by a feathered helmet and beard. The drawing's delicate hatching technique renders the soldier's anatomy, armor, and the texture of his hair in a realistic and detailed manner. This study, measuring just over 8 inches high and 6.5 inches wide, is an example of the Baroque style and highlights the artist's skill in capturing the essence of his subject matter.
